Chapter 3 Preface 3
In the summer, when the days are long and the nights are short, the day dawns early, and a ray of sunlight penetrates through the cracks in the blindfolded curtains that have been neglected to be tightened in the bachelor apartment.
The air conditioner that had been running all night was still spitting cold air.
"Buzzβ"
The continuous vibrating sound of the mobile phone on the table woke up the sleeping Xu Ran.
He frowned, touched his phone, lifted his face from the soft pillow, and pressed the answer button without seeing who the caller was.
"Hey ......"
His voice was low and hoarse, full of lazy tiredness.
"Xiao Ran, are you awake?" The man across from him had a lower voice than he did.
Xu Ran woke up, as if he was a little unconvinced, took away his phone and glanced at the caller displayed on the screen, his furrowed eyebrows did not stretch a little.
"Dad?"
I just passed the phone yesterday, and I came to make a phone porridge this morning?
Father Xu on the other end of the phone pulled the car to the side of the road and nodded with a smile: "You stinky boy, how old are you?" The sun is all on the butt, why can't you afford it? β
This strange tone full of satisfaction made Xu Ran suddenly sleepy - the other party's tone was weird, as if he had added a pair of twin grandchildren to his father overnight.
Unexpectedly, he was complaining in his heart, and Father Xu said again: "Get up and make some breakfast, I really won't go out to buy some soy milk fritters, you can't always let the girl get up early to take care of you, right?" That's too wronged. β
β¦β¦ What?
The other party smiled again, "Stinky boy, if the girl hadn't told me personally, when would you have confessed to me and your mother?" β
Xu Ran was not awake early in the morning, did not understand Xu's father's words in time, held the phone and was speechless for a long time, and suddenly a soft hand reached over and hugged his neck.
"Holy!"
Xu Ran turned his head and saw a face approaching, and someone rolled out of bed with the quilt on the spot.
Father Xu frowned: "Boy, how many times have I told you not to swear, not to mention that you still have a girlfriend ,ββ stinky boy, shouldn't you still say it in front of other girls?" β
Xu Ran stared at Li Wuyuan, who had turned into a human form on the bed and slept in his shirt, so stiff that he couldn't speak.
At this moment, the cold air of the air conditioner rushed over and pulled him back from the shock at once.
He picked up his mobile phone, replied to Xu's father on the phone, "I'll call you later", and pressed to end the call.
The room temperature was twenty-four degrees Celsius, and Li Wuyuan on the bed had no quilt and was wearing extremely thin clothes, so cold that he had to open his sleepy eyes.
Xu Ran, who was sitting on the ground, lifted the quilt on his body, subconsciously glanced at his lower body, and saw that his pants were still there, and he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
When he raised his eyes again, his face darkened.
"Dead cat."
Xu Ran cursed in a low voice, then got up with the quilt, sat on the bed, and pinched Li Wuyuan's chin.
"Who allowed you to climb into my bed?"
Li Wuyuan's expression was confused, looking at his angry expression, but there was no pain on his chin, and his attitude was more casual, and he said lazily: "The sofa is cold......"
Xu Ran was slightly stunned by her soft voice, but quickly recovered, and grabbed her collar again: "Then who allowed you to wear my clothes!" β
Li Wuyuan lowered his eyes and looked at the collar he was holding, and pouted disdainfully.
"Isn't that okay too?"
"No, you can't!"
"Alright then......"
Li Wuyuan's eyes were half-open and half-closed, and he stretched out his hand, and his white and slender fingers began to unbutton the bottom of his shirt, gradually moving up.
Xu Ran was stunned for a moment, suddenly put the quilt on her head, took a step back, and felt angry after retreating, and went back to give her a kick from outside the quilt.
"Ouch...... What are you doing! β
Li Wuyuan's buttocks ached, and he finally woke up completely, sat up from the quilt, and looked at him with annoyance.
"What?" Xu Ran seemed to be really irritated by her, sneered, and raised the mobile phone in his hand to question her:
"Did you call my dad last night while I was taking a shower? What did you say? β
"......" Li Wuyuan's eyes shook from side to side with the mobile phone in his hand, biting his lower lip slightly and whispering: "It's nothing......"
"Speak quickly!" Xu Ran whispered hurriedly and angrily.
Li Wuyuan looked at him, and there was a hint of gloom in his eyes.
"What is fierce? I told him I was your girlfriend, but I was so happy with himβwhat? Doesn't that make you earn? β
"Earned?"
Xu Ran's gaze at her was full of unreasonableness, he tilted his head, and the black mobile phone body reversed half a circle counterclockwise between his fingers and fell on the soft bed.
Li Wuyuan swallowed involuntarily, because Xu Ran's expression was indeed as if he was about to kill a cat.
Xu Ran laughed: "Who did you learn from these words with incorrect views?" β
Li Wuyuan hesitated for a moment and asked him uncertainly, "...... What are the three views? β
Xu Ran: "Answer my question!" β
Li Wuyuan was taken aback by his sudden uncertain attitude, and shrank back to the head of the bed, "I didn't learn anything...... Besides, don't all of you say that? β
"So you just see what you learn?"
Xu Ran asked quickly, almost the next moment after she finished speaking, like a parent forcing her child to ask for the details of a case where her child fought with someone.
Li Wuyuan looked at him in a daze, and his eyelashes flickering up and down matched his black and bright eyes, as if they were swept on people's hearts.
Xu Ran couldn't keep looking at her like this and pretending to be pitiful, he looked away, and his tone was still not very good: "Other than that, what else did you say?" β
"I ......"
Li Wuyuan rolled his eyes, and slowly spoke, just at this moment, the mobile phone screen on the bed lit up again, and the fuselage made a trembling sound.
The two of them glanced at the caller's display almost at the same time, and at the same time grabbed the phone without saying anything.
However, Xu Ran is relatively close to the mobile phone, and the advantage is greater, so he is still one step ahead.
He knew that Li Wuyuan was just looking honest on the surface.
Before pressing the answer button, he took the lead in pressing her into the pillow, holding the phone in one hand and covering her mouth in time with the other.
"If you dare to speak out, you will die."
Xu Ran was condescending and threw out such a sentence lightly.
Li Wuyuan grabbed his hand, and I don't know if it was because the other party put cruel words on her, and his momentum was a little higher than her, and he forgot to struggle.
Seeing that she was gradually becoming honest, Xu Ran finally removed the gaze that fell on her face and answered the phone.
"Dad?"
"Boy, why did it take so long to answer the phone? I've already arrived at the gate of the community, have you packed up your things? After eating, I will take you to the train station. β
Xu Ran was stunned.
"Hello? Xiao Ran? β
Xu Ran felt Li Wuyuan's lips under his palm move slightly, as if he was laughing, and when he lowered his eyes, he saw her eyes narrowed into two slits.
"What the did you tell my dad?!" Xu Ran scolded in a low voice.
Li Wuyuan looked down, pointed to his hand, and motioned for him to let go of her.
Of course, Xu Ran is not so stupid, who knows what she will take the opportunity to yell at the other end of the phone after he lets go.
"Xiao Ran?"
Father Xu on the other end of the phone couldn't hear an answer, and was a little anxious.
Xu Ran hurriedly put the phone back to his ear and said, "There is no food at home, let's go out to eat, you can wait a ......"
"I brought it!" Father Xu smiled, "You stinky boy, why don't you come out and pick me up quickly, your mother has brought you too many things!" β
ββ¦β¦β
Xu Ran closed his eyes with a headache, but he had to quickly regain his spirits and reluctantly accept the facts. "I see."
After hanging up the phone, he looked at Li Wuyuan almost with hatred, nodded, and clearly wrote on his face the words "You wait for me".
A quarter of an hour later, Xu Ran slowly brought Xu's father into his room.
Xu's father also wore a pair of glasses, the lenses were slightly thicker than Xu Ran's, a white short-sleeved shirt tied into black trousers, and a watch on his left hand.
"Hello uncle."
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a well-behaved Li Wuyuan standing at the door and smiling to greet him - fortunately, the machine-washed clothes last night were dry and could be temporarily refilled.
When Father Xu saw Li Wuyuan's appearance and posture, he nodded and smiled appreciatively in surprise:
"Hello hello, by the way, have you had breakfast?"
Li Wuyuan secretly looked at Xu Ran's stiff gaze and said with a smile: "I've eaten." β
"That's good!" Father Xu put things on the ground and led Li Wuyuan inside.
"Don't stand, go and sit. - Remember, young people must eat breakfast, otherwise it will be bad for the stomach. β
"I see." Li Wuyuan replied with a smile.
Xu Ran saw that her performance was quite good, and her expression relaxed a little.
He carried the teapot over and poured a glass of water for Xu's father, and as soon as he put down the pot, he heard Xu's father snort and looked at him with a reproachful look: "Why is it just a cup?" What about the unwilling? β
I even introduced myself in advance...... Xu Ran couldn't help but think about it, and glanced at Li Wuyuan viciously.
Then, unable to resist the majesty of Father Xu, he poured another glass of water and put it heavily in front of Li Wuyuan.
"There's not enough water, I'm going to boil it."
"Stinky boy, what attitude ......"
Father Xu glared angrily and said angrily at Xu Ran's back.
"Uncle, it's okay." Li Wuyuan hurriedly saw the stitches and grabbed him, and finally looked gloomy, and his tone was sad: "I'm used to it......"
ββ¦β¦β
Xu Ran, who stepped into the kitchen on half a leg, really wanted to turn around and smash a teapot over.
Father Xu patted Li Wuyuan's arm and said, "Don't be afraid, this stinky boy has had this temper since he was a child, if he bullies you in the future, you can tell Uncle and I will support you!" β
The area of the house is not large, Xu Ran, who was receiving water in the kitchen, heard it in his ears, and he couldn't help it: "Dad, don't listen to her......"
"Shut up!"
The words were interrupted, but Xu Ran couldn't swallow that breath, and rubbed his hair irritably.
When he returned to the coffee table, he saw that Li Wuyuan had already talked very well with Father Xu, and the two of them were talking and laughing, just like the original father and daughter.
Xu Ran nestled into the sofa and waited for them to finish with a blank face.
Father Xu seemed to have just seen him, and said angrily: "Look at you, I am not satisfied with having such a good girlfriend." β
Xu Ran frowned and said, "Where is she?" β
"Boy, you ......" Father Xu was excited for a second, probably thinking that he couldn't give Xu Ran too much face in front of Li Wuyuan, so he calmed down again.
"I've checked, the place where you work is so remote, and people are willing to accompany you, it's not good, so what's good?"
"Work ......" Xu Ran repeated silently, and then raised his face in hindsight and looked at Li Wuyuan.
"So that's what you're for."
Father Xu said: "What are you muttering about? β
Xu Ran paused for a moment, and lowered his eyes indifferently, "It's nothing." β
Seeing his attitude, Father Xu's tone softened a little, and his face became more serious: "Xiao Ran, life is not easy, but I still hope you try more, it is said that you are such a big person, you should take care of everything by yourself, but now you have no will...... Your mother is not worried, so she has to let me send you off. I've bought all the tickets for you, tickets for two o'clock in the afternoon, hurry up and finish your meal and leave, otherwise it will be late. β
After listening, Xu Ran's nerves, which were originally tense due to irritability, were even more like strings, and his whole brain hurt.
